Sustainment of continuous pulse oximetry deimplementation: Analysis of Eliminating Monitor Overuse study data from six hospitals.

ABSTRACT: Using continuous pulse oximetry (cSpO₂ ) to monitor children with bronchiolitis who are not receiving supplemental oxygen is a form of medical overuse. In this longitudinal analysis from the Eliminating Monitor Overuse (EMO) study, we aimed to assess changes in cSpO₂ overuse before, during, and after intensive cSpO₂ -deimplementation efforts in six hospitals. Monitoring data were collected during three phases: "P1" baseline, "P2" active deimplementation (all sites engaged in education and audit and feedback strategies), and "P3" sustainment (a new baseline measured after strategies were withdrawn). Two thousand and fifty-three observations were analyzed. We found that each hospital experienced reductions during active deimplementation (P2), with overall adj
